Terry was restless &
bored this morning and I was emotionally wrung out so after breakfast we headed
to the Lone Butte Casino. About 2:30 I
was hungry and suggested that we share the huge – 10 inch – hamburger that you
can get for $7.77 after you accumulate 10 points on your players’ card. When I went to get the coupon from the
player’s club, I also received a $10 food coupon so it cost us less than $10
for the burger, a couple of fairly expensive beers and the tip. It takes 25 – 30 minutes to cook the burger
so we were quite hungry by the time it came but could still only eat less than
half. We gambled a while longer and
headed home.
We barely got back when Bill
& Lauri stopped by to tell us about their new condo and to say farewell as
they are moving to a different park on the 1st until their new home
is available. Shortly after they
arrived, Gloria called to see if we would be home for a bit so they showed up
as well. Then Ernie & Dianne made it
a full house!
Once everyone left we were
ready to do nothing except have a brownie sundae for dinner.
Dec 31st - Mon
Terry had to get up early to
take Dennis & Gloria and Bob & Peggy to Fry’s at 6:30 to catch a bus
for a trip to Pasadena. There weren’t
enough people from our park for the bus to stop here. Just after Terry returned and crawled back in
the warm bed, Dennis called to say that they were on the bus and in our
park. Three people had signed up at the
last minute so there were actually enough bodies for the bus to stop in the park! Now we don’t need to pick them up when they
return on the 2nd.
The clothes basket was fairly
full so I decided to do laundry as did lots of other people. But we didn’t have to wait for machines. I exchanged some books at the library during
the wash cycle and returned to hang up delicates while clothes were drying so
worked in a tiny bit of exercise!
I made a batch of cookies and
then we went for a bike ride. As we left
we saw Clare leaving in the truck so we went to chat. She & Brad were due to return from
Winnipeg in a few days but it was so cold & snowy that they headed out a
bit early. Ron & Terri came over to
say hi as well so we invited them all over for a drink. Brad & Clare had to pick up groceries and
get settled so only Ron & Terri came by.
I used the leftover meat from our huge burger to make a hot beef
sandwich for dinner.
We went to Ernie &
Dianne’s for the evening. Dianne’s
daughter Annette, her husband Mike and their daughter Kayah are here for a
visit and we were also joined by Doug & Shirley who are friends of Ernie
& Dianne and who are also in our park.
We all kept our eyes open until midnight but left shortly after to the
smell of gunpowder from all the fireworks around.
Jan 1st – Tues
I made cinnamon rolls for
breakfast that were the last of a 3 pack that we bought at Costco and won’t buy
again! Moe came over around 11 and told us
about their trip to Hawaii – Trish wasn’t feeling too well and was still
sleeping. Moe & Terry went to get a
late breakfast but I stayed home, puttered around and had a sandwich for lunch. Then I went for a walk and ended up at the
puzzle room until Terry called and said Robin was here.
We had a drink with Robin and
finally Neil called to see where she was.
He brought a couple of appetizers that they bought but didn’t use last
night and I got out a couple of munchies which ended up being dinner. We taught them to play Ponytail Canasta which
the guys won by 10 points.
